1. They're After Me Lucky Charms!

A/N: I wanted to write a Lucky Charms story, but I had no idea where to start. Then an idea hit me and I grabbed it and ran with it. I love Fruits Basket and I wondered what would happen if Tohru and Lucky were to meet. Then I decided that a person with a kind heart like Tohru's wouldn't hesitate to help get the children off his back. And then this story was born. A lot of details still need to be thought out and I haven't got the plot just right in my mind yet, but hopefully soon I'll get it together and be able to get the next chapter completed.

Disclaimer: I do not own the anime Fruits Basket or the Lucky Charms cereal. Natsuki Takaya and General Mills do.

Summary: Tohru is taking an innocent walk through the woods when by chance she meets a strange little leprechaun with a problem - the kids want his Lucky Charms. Now she has to help him out, but he must do something for her in return. Every leprechaun is magical and can grant a person one wish. Her wish is reasonable enough - but will it be easy for her leprechaun friend to grant while he deals with the meddlesome kids after his precious cereal?

Tohru Honda was taking a stroll through the woods, a bit bored, but enjoying the outside.

The warm sun shone down on her; birds chirped in the bright blue sky.

Everything was peaceful and calm.

At least until she heard a cry from not very far off.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

"Hey, get him!"

"Curse these incessant children! Why won't they leave me alone?! It's my cereal, not theirs. I wish they'd just go away."

Lucky was once again being chased by a gang of children after his precious charms and was running for all he was worth on his short leprehaun legs.

He clutched the bowl containing his charms tightly trying to keep them from spilling out as he ran.

The cereal hungry kids had been driving him crazy for years and he had, had just about enough of it.

The cereal was his and only his. The charms were his treasure and he would not let those greedy kids have ithem.

But now they were gaining on him.

His only hope was to get to the forest where he could lose them. Then maybe he'd have time to think of another plan.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Hearing footsteps draw near the frightened girl began to panick.

She needed to hide; she didnt know who it was and it was always better to be safe than sorry.

The girl darted behind a tree and made herself stay silent.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Lucky made it into the edge of the woods. The children were close behind and he had to find some place to hide before they closed in on him.

Pulling out a blue moon shaped charm he used it to become invisible. It would keep him from being seen by anyone for a small amount of time. It was a temperary spell and would wear off soon. Before then, Lucky would be well hidden.

Moving silently and unseen into the deeper part of the forest Lucky spotted a tree big enough to hide him. Unfortunately, a young boy was walking towards the same tree and he cursed his bad luck.

Thinking quickly, he compromised. Spotting a fair sized bush he quickly moved to hide behind it. The children wouldn't see him here and would pass quietly by. Then he would dart out when he was quite certain they had gone and try to get back home where it was safe.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Tohru had held her breath and held deathly still, back against the tree while the footsteps of the leprechaun approached. For one fearful moment she had thought that whoever it was would come over to where she was, but then she'd heard the steps go in another direction and breathed out a sigh of relief.

Then she realized that the stranger was still in the area she was in and grew tense again.

"Tohru? Tohru is that you? What are you doing here?"

She jumped at the voice and whirled around quickly. A friendly young face stared back.

It was only Momiji. Thank goodness!

"What are you doing here, Momiji-kun?" Tohru asked, cautiously keeping her tone low.

The rabbit apparently wasn't bothered by the thought of a stranger in their midst. He answered in his normal tone, "you weren't at Shigure's when I came and I was worried about you so I decided to look for you."

Heedless of the girl's frantic shushing gestures he continued, "what are you doing? Are you playing hide-and-seek? Can I play too? Please!"

Finally she put a hand over his mouth and signaled for him to be quiet.

He seemed to get the point and stayed silent as she removed her hand. He gave her a curious look and seemed to be asking what was wrong.

Understanding his unspoken question she poked her head from behind the tree and glanced around. Seeing no one she turned back to Momiji.

"There's someone else here. A stranger. Stay quiet until he goes away. I don't think it's very safe to draw attention to ourselves right now. Who knows who that person is. They could be a murder or something."

His round brown eyes widened in fear.

"Oh no! Tohru-chan isn't safe here. I'll go get someone; Hatori, Kyo, anyone. Just stay here until I come back, okay? If we both go it'll draw too much attention. I'll be quick and quiet."

"Wait, Momiji-"

But he was already gone. She sighed and slumped against the rough bark feeling tired and scared.

What would happen now? Would the stranger leave? Would Momiji return with help before anything bad could occur?

Before she had time to wonder anymore about it, the thudding of far off footsteps reached her ears and she knelt on the ground curling into a fetal position to try to make herself less noticable.

It couldn't be Momiji back so soon, so she could only assume that whoever it was she probably didn't want them to find her.

She didn't know if whoever was coming was friendly or not and she really didn't want to find out.

She squeezed her eyes shut as the steps grew nearer and nearer. Hopefully they wouldn't see her. With any luck they would pass right on by.

So she waited fearfully as the steps became louder and closer.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

A small group of kids stood looking around in confusion.

They knew Lucky had escaped into the woods, but they didn't see which direction he took.

Now they were trying to decide which path to take and neither one agreed with the other's decision.

Girl A: "We should go this way. I'm positive that's where he went."

Girl B: "No, it's this way - I'm certain of it!"

Boy A: "We have to split up. One group will go this way, and the other group will go that way."

So they separated, the boy's going in one direction and the girl's going in another.

One group went down a wrong path. ...But the others followed a path leading right to where the girl and leprechaun were hiding.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

When the footsteps were loud enough she knew that whoever they belonged to would soon be in the area she was in.

They wouldn't be able to see her because the tree hid her well. Still that didn't keep her from trembling slightly with fear. The strangers could probably hear her heart pounding from where they were, it was beating so loud. She curled even tighter into her little ball and willed her breath to still.

The thudding of feet suddenly stopped and Tohru thought she would faint from fright. Would they look around and find her in her hiding place? The very idea made her think of bolting, but she firmly kept her body in place, determined to wait this out.

They would be gone soon, hopefully, and THEN she could leave.

So she waited, only hearing the quiet shuffling of feet and the low murmuring of voices.

Whoever was here was trying to be silent, as if they were afraid of being made known.

But why? Was it because of the other person who was here? Did they somehow know him?

Her question was answered when the voices suddenly rose and someone uttered a loud shout.

"Hey look I found him. I found Lucky! Get him! Grab him! Don't let him get away!!!"

After that yelled order, absolute pandemonium insued.


	2. Meeting Tohru, Friend or Foe?

Up til now Lucky had been sure that they wouldn't find him. The magic from the blue moon charm had long ago worn off and he was once more visible. He had heard the sound of shuffling feet and knew that they were looking for him. He had plenty more charms but knew that none of them could really help him now. Even if he went invisible again they could still feel him and catch him in an instant. He could use his hourglass charm but it would only send him to a different time with more children. He could use his horseshoe and run away but they would only chase after him again. Then he had idea. He could use his clover charm to give him Luck. He shifted through the many charms and finally pulled out a yellow and orange colored hourglass charm.

Before he could use it however someone shouted out an order and suddenly he was surrounded on all sides by the cereal hungry kids.

Lucky quickly found an opening and darted between someones legs. The entire group cried out angrily and chased after his fleeing form.

With lightning quickness he threw the charm on the ground with a furious cry.

"Marshmellow magic!"

There was a puff of smoke in the place the charm had been and instantly a huge rock appeared between him and the children preventing them from pursing him further.

He laughed victoriously and started to dash away.

He didn't get far before he bumped into someone who was running in the same direction he was and fell on the ground landing on his rear.

The other person also fell down landing hard on their stomach.

The bowl containing his precious cereal was jolted from his hands in the fall and landed at the sprawled girl's feet.

He was a bit disheveled but no worse for the wear and was up in a twinkling and sprinting to the fallen charms.

It took the girl a minute longer to sit up and then she noticed the charms. She grabbed the bowl before the leprechaun could get to it and stood with some difficulty.

Lucky froze in his tracks and gazed at the girl in horror.

She was staring hungrily at the cereal and he could see the open desire in her eyes for the tasty treat.

Tohru suddenly remembered that she hadn't had breakfast that morning and gazed wistfully at the cereal her hand moving almost mechanically towards the spoon.

The terrified elf let out a desperate yell.

"No!!! Me Lucky Charms!"

The girl paused and looked around her brown orbs landing on him. Until that point she hadn't noticed his presence and her eyes widened in surprise hand dropping to her side, momentarily forgetting about the charms she held.

There was a long silence between the two strangers until Tohru finally spoke shock turning her voice squeaky.

"Who...who are you?"

The little man barely heard the question, his entire focus was on the bowl in her hands. He ignored her question and instead shouted out a firm order.

"Unhand me Lucky Charms this instant!"

"Eh?"

The onigiri blinked in bewilderment. Slowly she looked to the cereal in her hand and then back to the leprechaun and then back to the cereal again.

Comprehension dawned on her face and she took a step in Lucky's direction.

The elf for his part would have nothing to do with her. As far as he was concerned she was just another person after his precious charms.

He took a step away from her and put his small hands defiantly on his hips.

"Put the bowl down and step away."

She complied silently and Lucky walked cautiously over and snatched up the charms posessively.

Just then he heard the sound of nearby voices and hurried steps and knew that the children had somehow managed to get around the boulder.

"Oh no! They're coming after me Lucky Charms!"

Immediately Tohru took control of the situation.

"Then I have to hide you! Come on - I know the perfect place to go."

Without another word she took the startled leprechaun's hand and lead him away.

A/N: Review please! 


	3. Losing The Kids And Saying Goodbye

Tohru practically dragged the small man along with her, his feet flying out from under him as he was pulled along at a brisk pace. She didn't stop until they came to a field of long grass. Long enough to hide in and not be seen. They heard the children a few feet away. Tohru jumped into the grass bringing Lucky down with her. Crouching very low they held their breath as the kids slowly passed the place where they were hiding.

As soon as he was certain the group was gone the leprechaun took out another moon charm and used it to turn himself invisible. The girl stared around in confusion wondering where he was. There was a chuckle on her right and she searched for the owner of the laugh but of course didn't find it.

"Thank you very much lassie but now I really must be on my way. Home isn't far from here and I think I can get there safely. Bye now!"

Tohru screeched loudly and ran around in panicked circles. It was terrifying to hear a disembodied voice.

"Hey calm down, its just me lassie." That didn't do much to comfort her. Finally she realized who the voice belonged to and slumped down on her knees exhausted from all the running. "P-please don't scare me like t-that!" Once more she heard the same chuckle and felt an invisible hand pat her shoulder. Before she really had time to think about what had happened she heard the sound of retreating footsteps and knew that her friend was leaving. "Goodbye…" She whispered sadly, afraid to speak any louder for fear that the children were still lurking about. He didn't answer her and soon the sound of his light steps were lost in the distance between them.


	4. Two Charms For The Price Of One

A/N: I was going to write a longer chapter, but _someone _just took me away from my work and sucked out my motivation. This is so depressing that I want to cry, but I won't. I wonder if anyone will even review. This is an anime/tv commercial after all. Is this even popular among fanfiction fans? Oh well. If anyone does read this, please review. Thank you.

Disclaimer: I do not own the anime Fruits Basket, or the Lucky Charms commercial.

"They're Magically Delicious!"

Tohru giggled at the commercial. She hardly ever watched tv, as she always had something better to do. As such, it was no surprise that she had never seen the cereal mascot before. Her encounter with him had been brief...yet eventful. She had met up with Momiji after the short man had departed, meeting him as she was walking home. She told him everything that happened, and he believed every word and was awed by her encounter with an actual leprechaun.

"_I wouldn't have tried to steal his cereal though. What those kids did was really mean. It's not like it belonged to them, after all_."

The rabbit's words rang in her ears and she smiled. Momiji was a good kid. He would never try to do something as mean as those bad kids did. He knew to respect other people's property. Hatori had not believed it, though, saying that a cereal mascot, as well as a ficticious creature could not be real. Tohru had been disappointed in his lack of faith, but she shrugged it off, as Momiji believed, and that's all that mattered.

She was startled as a different commercial about the same cereal came on. It was a newer Lucky Charms advertisement. The kids tried to get Lucky's cereal, but he distracted them by making them repeat the names of the charms.

"**Hearts, Stars, and Horseshoes, Clovers, and Blue Moons, Pots of Gold, and Rainbows, and me Red Balloons**!"

The leprechaun and kids chanted the line, and they flew away with Lucky on a rainbow.

Tohru sighed dreamily. How wonderful it would be to soar away like that, with no worries and no cares. Ah, well, she didn't have time for such thoughts. She needed to do the laundry, because, hey, it wasn't going to wash, dry, and fold itself.

Lucky dropped the last seed into the hole, patting loose soil over the surface like an earthy cover. Placing his hands on top of the buried seed he muttered a well-known chant. Reddish-orange brows knitted in concentration as he pressed down on the dirt, willing the seed to grow with all his might. It wouldn't grow right away - even magic takes time, but it would get the job done, which was all that mattered.

Blue light glowed from his palms, reaching the seed through the earth, and helping it grow. When the light dispersed, the leprechaun stood and took a few steps back to watch his work.

He had planted six seeds, using magic on each one. They were about a foot apart, embedded inches deep in the ground. Soon, the spell would take effect, the results being instantaneous.

As planned, the trees began to grow within minutes. Slowly, carefully, they rose from the earth, springing up like weeds. When they had matured in height, marshmellows burst forth on the leafy branches, all different shapes and colors; The usual ones were seen - the hearts, stars, rainbows, etc. But the new hourglass charm was there, as well as his new swirled charms, which separately, gave him the power to control time, and teleport.

Job completed, the little irish man grinned and jumped in the air, doing a brief dance with his feet kicking up while suspended.

He had done well today.

Hanging various articles of clothing on the line, the adorable riceball hummed to pass the time. Her angelic voice could sound much better if her self-concious nature allowed her to raise it a few notches. As it was, the tune was hummed nervously, the volume falling when she got too distracted to notice.

She was nowhere near finished when a sudden urge to go for a walk hit her. The onigiri bit her lip, debating whether to stay or go. She decided to be selfish for once and leave the work unfinished. She could finish it later, besides it was a shame to let such a beautiful day go by slaving away. She wanted to enjoy it - if only for awhile.

So she took a familiar path and started walking.

"_I'm lost. I knew I should have gone right - but nooo. I had to be an idiot and take a left. How could I be so stupid!_"

It was rare that our little flower talked in such a way, but then again, it wasn't every day that she felt **this **scared and alone.

If only Yuki or Kyo were there with her, she wouldn't feel so afraid. In her mind, she was well and truly lost, and completely screwed. The thoughts currently racing through her head were something like this,

"_What am I going to do? How will I get back? What if I _can't _get back? Will I be stranded here forever, doomed to never again see any of my friends - Yuki, Kyo, Shigure, Momiji, Kagura, Kisa...oh...oh lord, no! Somebody, please help! Help me!_"

Struggling to hold back tears, she sobbed and they fell despite her best efforts to keep them at bay. Not having an alternate decision, she walked until she came to the end of the path. She saw that she was in front of a dense wood and trembled violently. She disliked places like this, where she could get hurt or kidnapped. The woods were so dangerous...but what choice did she have? None. So, without further hesitation, she took the first shaky step into the woods.

Hours passed and still she was getting no closer to the woods end. She thought about taking a break, but that was out of the question. She didn't want to think about what would happen if she rested in the middle of a forest, and, anyway, she reasoned that the sooner she got to her destination, the better.

So, she walked for who-knows-how-long, passing bushes with juicy berries that made her stomach growl. She didn't dare pick any for fear of getting some mysterious disease, but the onigiri was seriously hungry.

She was starting to wonder if she would simply pass out - from hunger or fatigue, which one, she didn't know - when, quite suddenly, she came to a wide clearing.

Gaping at the lovely sight before her, Tohru rubbed her chocolate orbs, and looked again. The picturesque scene didn't go away. She blinked and smiled. Maybe her luck was finally turning around.

Lucky plucked a heart charm from the tree and threw it in front of the huge plant with a loud cry of, "Marshmallow powers!"

The tree came to life, the trunk forming a face that grinned at the leprechaun.

In a deep voice, the animated object said jovially, "Hiya Lucky."

The irish man laughed, pleased that his powers still worked well. With a natural power that was all his own, he turned the tree inanimate again.

Now tired, but far from sleepy, he lay down on the emerald, sweet-smelling grass. His blue irisis gazed at the clouds, his expression thoughtful as his mind pondered over his status in the leprechuan village. Over there, he was a hero to the people for all of the adventures that he went on to save them and the entire village. But, he didn't want to be a hero. He wanted to be Lucky - just Lucky. No one understood that...no one understood **him**.

He sighed and shut his eyes. Just then, the Emerald Elder appeared.

"Lucky."

Said leprechauns brow twitched in annoyance.

"I see the bane of my existence has arrived. May I ask what brought about this unwanted visit?"

The Elder rolled his eyes. Several long years of this taught him the virtue of patience. The young lad wasn't bad as their kind went - michievious beings that they were - so Lucky's comment was easy enough to ignore.

"I have a new charm for you."

"That's a surprise."

The sarcasm was thick in the elf's voice, but the Elder payed it no heed.

"It's a...highly unusual one, to be sure."

_That _got his attention.

He was up in an instant, nearing the older elf, curiousity the culprit of a sudden change in mood.

"What is it?"

The Elder held out his hand to show him.

It truly was different. It was a stemless red rose, having the appearance of a newly blossomed bud.

Lucky was confused. He had never gotten a charm like this before. What could it be? And what about its power? Could a flower hold any useful ability?

In answer to his unspoken questions, the Elder said,

"This charm is very special. It has the ability to make a person fall in love. Not just with anyone, but any_thing_. It is called, the 'rose' charm."

The young hero crossed his arms and tapped his left foot impatiently.

"And that helps me...how?"

The Elder smirked.

"I know it doesn't seem like much, but what if the children fell in love with the trees, or stars, or flowers long enough to distract them?"

Lucky glared at him and opened his mouth to tell the other just how incredibly stupid that sounded, when he realized that it might, in fact, be very helpful, indeed.

The Elder waited for a scathing comment; when he recieved only silence, he added, quite casually, "oh, yes, and, before I forget, here is another charm that will allow you to control the weather."

He handed Lucky a white charm in the shape of a thunder bolt.

Lucky threw him a sour look.

"Why didn't you just give me this one in the first place?"

The Elder shrugged, and gave him a wink.

"I wanted to see that vexed look on your face. You really are easy to agitate."

He disappeared before the younger elf could retort, leaving a disembodied chuckle behind.

Lucky's brow did a furious serious of twitches as he stared at the spot the 'bane of his existence" had been a moment ago.

"Ya know, I'm gonna seriously hurt him one day."


	5. A troubled meeting and a pleasant meal

A/N: Sorry for the long wait. Right now, I barely have time to post this, so I can't say much more. Just that any mistakes will be fixed, but I also don't have time to check grammer or spelling. Arrg, darn library hours!

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

A sunny forest clearing stood before her; emerald grass, fallen logs here and there, small boulders, perfect for resting on, and tall, leafy trees. But what really captured her attention was the trees in the center of the clearing. They were lined up in a row, and were adorned with colorful marshmallows. Tohru knew instantly who had grown those particular trees; the riceball looked around, but didn't see the elf in the immediate vicinity. The girl did not like to take anything that belonged to anyone else without permission, so, ignoring her growling stomach, she forced herself to wait. Sitting down on the grass, she proceeded to hum a tune that her mom used to sing to put her to sleep.

To be sure, the Elder was annoying, but two charms would be a great help, and he was grateful to the elderly leprechaun. He would, of course, have to create duplicates of the new charms, but that was easy: with a duplication spell, Lucky easily created copies of both the rose charm and the thunderbolt charm. Currently, he was in his little wooden cottage, in a room he used as his 'work' room, though he didn't consider what he did work. When there were enough duplicates of the charms, Lucky used a bit more magic to make them fly into his famous cereal boxes. These new charms wouldn't be distributed anytime soon - still, he wanted to get the packaging out of the way. When that was finished, Lucky decided to get some more fresh air; he walked back to the clearing to check on his marshmallows, but stopped in his tracks upon reaching the site. First, he heard a beautiful sound - someone humming. Then, he took a few cautious steps, and soon discerned that a girl was sitting near the trees, humming a song. Upon closer observation, he saw that it was the same girl who had rescued him from the children before. Without further hesitation, Lucky approached the brunette.

Tohru had been sitting in absolute silence, with the exception of her humming, and the light footsteps nearing her were distinct to her sensitive ears. Her head whipped around, chocolate orbs landing on the small creature. Her face lit up attractively.

"Oh, hello. I knew you would come, so I waited for you." Tohru blushed, realizing how stalkerish that sounded. "I-I mean-I was walking, and I got lost, so when I found myself here, I knew you would be here, so...umm...er..."

She twiddled her thumbs, addressing her hands.

"I was tired, so I thought it would be best to wait for you. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course not. I did not expect to see you again. It was a lucky thing you stumbled across this place."

Tohru nodded violently.

"Oh yes! If I hadn't, I probably would have collapsed from exhaustion. Uhng..."

She promptly clapped a hand over her stomach and slumped over.

At once, Lucky was alarmed. He gently grasped her shoulders, brows furrowed with worry.

"What's wrong?"

In reply, Tohru lifted her head weakly.

"I'm...so...hungry."

"Can you stand?"

"I think so."

She tried, and luckily was able to - however her feet were sore, and her legs were tired from walking for so long. She was only just able to keep from falling over.

Lucky took action immediately. Lifting his hands, he created a wind that gently lifted the girl off her feet. He directed the wind in the direction of his cottage, walking along at a fast, but gentle pace. Upon reaching the cottage, Lucky moved the wind over the porch; the wind eased the girl onto the porch and, on Lucky's command, dispersed. Tohru was too weak to muster the strength to be shocked; she simply stood unsteadily, the full realization of how tired and hungry she was hitting her, making her that much more drained. Lucky was by her side in an instant, guiding her inside, and showing her to the kitchen. Tohru gratefully collapsed into the chair the elf pulled out for her, smiling at him in thanks. Lucky was quick to start fixing a meal. If you thought that he just ate his cereal, you'd be wrong. Yes, he does enjoy a bowl or two a day, but he _does _eat other food. Since he is irish, it's obvious that he would have irish food; he had already made some irish stew that day and he now warmed it on the stove.

Tohru waited eagerly and humbly accepted the bowl that was given to her with soda bread on the side. She thanked Lucky profusely, and ate, trying to be polite and eat slowly, even though she wanted to gulp it down. When she had abated her hunger, and was able to eat with less vigor, she made a point to ask about the wind trick: how did he make the wind move? Was it magic? Could he do other tricks like it? Lucky answered her questions in succession: that's a secret. Yes it is. Yes, I can do other magic like that.

The riceball was awed by this creature and wanted to know more about him. However, the meal had made her sleepy, and she was reminded that she had to go back to Shigure's house. However, it was late afternoon, and she was sure it would take hours to find her way back. She wanted to take a nap, but was afraid to sleep in a strangers house; it seemed that Lucky had thought about this though, and immediately brought up the topic.

"You looked tired. Perhaps you should get some rest. I'll show you to the bedroom."

"Oh no, I couldn't impose. I'll sleep somewhere else. Please don't trouble yourself over me."

"Don't be ridiculous - you look like you're about to collapse! Come, let me take you to the room."

She didn't - or rather _couldn't _argue. She was simply too exhausted. So she let Lucky lead her to a cute little room and, without taking the time to really admire it, she fell on the bed and, not bothering to cover herself, fell asleep within moments.

For a moment, Lucky was captivated by the girl on his bed. He had never taken kindly to humans - children were so aggravating and he never really spoke to adults unless he had too. The only people he could associate with were his own kind and other mythical creatures. This was the first time he had really gotten to know a human, and it was fascinating. He found he wanted to spend more time with her, and show her things he could never show other humans. Snapping out of it, he shook his head. It was pure nonsense. He shouldn't get involved with a human. They were dangerous and, most of the time, untrustworthy. As nice as this one seemed, he couldn't let his guard down. A small voice in his head was telling him that this could be an exception. He tried to ignore it, but the feeling that this girl was someone he could grow to like kept nagging at him. He scratched his head, annoyed with his thoughts and feelings. They were all mixed up; perhaps he should do something to distract himself. Shutting the door, Lucky temporarily pushed away thoughts of the girl. They could wait; right now, he had other things to worry about.
